 |  My random thoughts and reactions to my everyday life. The voices like a forum. |
| I do not know quite what happened or when , but my hubby and I now qualify for seniors' discounts at some venues. This creates a quandary; in order to save money, but not face, we have to admit to our age. HMMMM..... We definitely do not consider ourselves to be old. In this day and age ,when people as a whole are living longer and healthier lives why are 'young seniors', those in their fifties, like moi, considered 'old'?? It's so true that age is just a perception! "Maturity" is very objective/subjective, and I object! Whew, a few years have skittered by since I composed this biography block. Those "fifties" are in the rear view mirror and they are distant, fond memories. Oh, I do not plan to stop writing any time soon. |
PROMPT July 17th How important is the role of music in your life and in your creative process? Do you write to music? If so, what kind and why do you think it helps? Well, this will be a brief blog post. Music is not at all important to my creative process. There I stretched it out by repeating the words of the initial question. No, I do not write to music. I prefer silence. Now I'm not anti-music, no, not at all. If music is playing it is not background noise, it's distracting. I sing along to it. Occasionally, I will feel compelled to dance to it. Since I am far from coordinated, I cannot possibly write and boogie at the same time. Nope, it aint happenin'. I like the sound of silence. I am comfortable in the quiet and I prefer to think immersed in it. Perhaps this is because I savour my me time . I'm not always alone and when that occurs, music is blaring, laughter fills the air, and conversation is ceaseless. I do not attempt to create then. I enjoy the temporary company knowing I will write at a later time. On a side note, similar as it is about background noise, I do not like the unceasing whirring of a fan either. I am aware that some claim it helps them sleep and blocks out other noise. It is still noise! I do not care if it is termed 'white noise.' Noise is noise. A fan is nothing but annoying noise. It whirrs, clicks, squeaks and more. |
